This is a first for a Solana-based blockchain game to have SFTs which RPG gamers could relate to. These tokens can be staked on their inventory without consuming much of the capacity of the storage. The images are the same but if a gamer has 10 of these tokens it will be represented as 10x on the inventory.
Genopets initial SFTs will be their Refined Genotype Crystals and Terraform Seeds.
Genopet’s launch for Habitat on August 4 will be delayed due to the incident in the Solana network but the developers will announce the new schedule for it to be launched.
